Right folks,I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear that the weeks and weeks of boring Facebook & Twitter Running updates have actually had a purpose to them. They've all been geared towards me (foolishly?) running the Edinburgh Marathon.

I've chosen to support The Christie for pretty obvious reasons. The care and support Kathryn has had over the last 18 months has been second to none. We've both seen first hand the brilliant work they do and to be honest it's an honour to help in any way I can.

I know there's not a lot of spare cash flying around at the minute but any amount you can donate will be gratefully received.......it's gotta be worth it just to know how much pain i'll be going through surely???

I know everyone's got busy lives so thankyou very much for taking time to read this and as Bob Geldof said "Give us yer f****n money"
